i
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
continued economic and automotive industry instability or poor economic conditions
in the U.S. and global markets, including the credit markets, or changes in economic
conditions, commodity prices, housing prices, foreign currency exchange rates or
political stability in the markets in which we operate; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to realize production efficiencies, to achieve reductions in costs as a
result of the turnaround restructuring and health care cost reductions and to implement

|
|
|
|
shortages of, volatility in the price of and price increases for fuel; |
|
|
|

estimates for the Delphi Corporation (Delphi) pension benefit guarantees, which could
result in an impact on earnings; |
|
|
|
|
negotiations and bankruptcy court actions with respect to Delphis obligations to us
and our obligations to Delphi, negotiations with respect to our obligations under the

with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). |
ii
With respect to GMAC:
|
|
|
rating agencies may downgrade their ratings for GMAC or Residential Capital, LLC in
the future, which would adversely affect GMACs ability to raise capital in the debt
markets at attractive rates and increase the interest that it pays on its outstanding
publicly traded notes, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations and financial condition; |
|
|
|
|
GMACs business requires substantial capital, and if it is unable to maintain
adequate financing sources, its profitability and financial condition will suffer and
jeopardize its ability to continue operations; |
|
|
|
|
the profitability and financial condition of its operations are dependent upon our
operations, and it has substantial credit exposure to us; |
|
|
|
|
recent developments in the residential mortgage market, especially in the nonprime
sector, may adversely affect GMACs revenues, profitability and financial condition; |
|
|
|
|
GMACs ability to realize the expected benefits of its recent conversion to a bank
holding company and to comply with the increased regulation and restrictions to which
it is subject as a result; and |
|
|
|
|
the worldwide financial services industry is highly competitive, and if GMAC is
unable to compete successfully or if there is increased competition in the automotive
financing, mortgage and/or insurance markets or generally in the markets for
securitizations or asset sales, its margins could be materially adversely affected. |
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying documents are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance
that the actual results or developments that we anticipate will be realized or, even if realized,
that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us and our subsidiaries or our
businesses or operations. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other such factors that
affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.
iii
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the securities by the selling
securityholders, but we will receive the exercise price payable upon the exercise of the warrant,
if exercised for cash. We will use the proceeds received from the exercise of the warrant, if any,
for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital and the repayment
of existing indebtedness.

satisfaction of our obligations under the Loan Agreement, business conditions, our financial
condition, our earnings and other factors.
S-1
DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANT
The following is a brief description of the terms of the warrant that may be resold by the
selling securityholders. We originally issued the warrant to the United States Department of the
Treasury, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated December 31, 2008, between us and the Treasury,
the initial selling securityholder, in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. This summary does not purport to be
complete in all respects. This description is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference
to the warrant, a copy of which has been filed with the SEC and is also available upon request from
us.
Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Warrant
The warrant is initially exercisable for 122,035,597 shares of our common stock. The number
of shares subject to the warrant are subject to the further adjustments described below under the
heading Adjustments to the Warrant.
Exercise of the Warrant
The initial exercise price applicable to the warrant is $3.57 per share of common stock for
which the warrant may be exercised. The warrant is perpetual and may be exercised at any time by
surrender of the warrant and a completed notice of exercise and the payment of the exercise price
for the shares of common stock for which the warrant is being exercised. The exercise price may be
paid either by the withholding by us of such number of shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrant equal to the value of the aggregate exercise price determined by reference
to the market price of our common stock on the trading day on which the warrant is exercised or, if
agreed to by us and the warrantholder, by the payment of cash equal to the aggregate exercise price
of the warrant.
The per share exercise price applicable to the warrant is subject to the further adjustments
described below under the heading Adjustments to the Warrant.
Upon exercise of the warrant, certificates for the shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise will be issued to the warrantholder. We will not issue fractional shares upon any exercise
of the warrant. Instead, the warrantholder will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the market
price of our common stock on the last day preceding the exercise of the warrant (less the pro-rated
exercise price of the warrant) for any fractional shares that would have otherwise been issuable
upon exercise of the warrant. We will at all times reserve the aggregate number of shares of our
common stock for which the warrant may be exercised. The shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrant will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Repurchase of the Warrant
After the loans under the Loan Agreement are repaid in full, we will have the right to
repurchase at fair market value: (i) any shares issued upon exercise of the warrant and then held
by the Treasury; and (ii) the warrant.
Rights as a Shareholder
The warrantholder shall have no rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock,
including any voting rights, until (and then only to the extent) the warrant has been properly
exercised. In addition, the Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting rights with respect to any
shares of common stock held by it.
Adjustments to the Warrant
Adjustments in Connection with Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications and Combinations.
The number of shares for which the warrant may be exercised and the exercise price applicable to
the warrant will be proportionately adjusted in the event we pay dividends or make distributions on
our common stock in shares of our common stock, or subdivide, combine or reclassify outstanding
shares of our common stock.
S-2
Anti-dilution Adjustment. If, in other than certain permitted transactions as described below,
we issue any shares of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common
stock) for (or having a conversion or exercise price) less than 90% of the market price of the
common stock on the last trading day prior to pricing such shares or securities, then the number of
shares of common stock into which the warrant is exercisable and the exercise price of the warrant
will be adjusted. Permitted transactions include issuances:
|
|
|
as consideration for or to fund the acquisition of businesses and/or related assets; |
|
|
|
|
in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in
the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by our board of
directors; |
|
|
|
|
in connection with public or broadly marketed offerings and sales of common stock or
convertible securities for cash conducted by us or our affiliates pursuant to
registration under the Securities Act or Rule 144A thereunder on a basis consistent
with capital raising transactions by comparable financial institutions; and |
|
|
|
|
in connection with the exercise of preemptive rights on terms existing as of
December 31, 2008. |
Other Distributions. If we declare any dividends or distributions other than our historical,
ordinary cash dividends, then the number of shares of common stock into which the warrant is
exercisable and the exercise price of the warrant will be adjusted to reflect such distribution.
Certain Repurchases. If we effect a pro rata repurchase of common stock, then the number of
shares of common stock into which the warrant is exercisable and the exercise price will be
adjusted.
Business Combinations. In the event of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction
involving us and requiring shareholder approval, the warrantholders right to receive shares of our
common stock upon exercise of the warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise the warrant
for the consideration that would have been payable to the warrantholder with respect to the shares
of common stock for which the warrant may be exercised, as if the warrant had been exercised prior
to such merger, consolidation or similar transaction.
S-3
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling securityholders and their successors, including their transferees, may sell the
securities directly to purchasers or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling
securityholders or the purchasers of the securities. These discounts, concessions or commissions as
to any particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of those customary in the
types of transactions involved.
The securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market
prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated
prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block
transactions:
|
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the common stock
may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including, as of the date of this
prospectus supplement, the New York Stock Exchange in the case of the common stock; |
|
|
|
|
in the over-the-counter market; |
|
|
|
|
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or services or in the
over-the-counter market; or |
|
|
|
|
through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options
exchange or otherwise. |
In addition, any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the
Securities Act may be sold under such rules rather than pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
In connection with the sale of the securities or otherwise, the selling securityholders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The selling securityholders may also sell short the common stock issuable upon exercise of
the warrant and deliver common stock to close out short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these
securities.
The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the securities will be
the purchase price of the securities less discounts and commissions, if any.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling securityholders may
arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions,
discounts or concessions from the selling securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately
prior to the sale.
In offering the securities covered by this prospectus supplement, the selling securityholders
and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling securityholders may be deemed to be
underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. Any profits realized by the selling securityholders and the compensation of any
broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Selling securityholders
who are underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain
statutory and regulatory liabilities, including liabilities imposed pursuant to Sections 11, 12 and
17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
the Exchange Act.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities
must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In
addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of
securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement and to the activities of the selling
securityholders. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus supplement available to the
selling securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act.
S-4
At the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, an additional prospectus
supplement will set forth the number and type of securities being offered and the terms of the
offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any
underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount,
commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price
to the public.
We do not intend to apply for listing of the warrant on any securities exchange or for
inclusion in any automated quotation system unless requested by the initial selling shareholder. No
assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for the warrant.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain liabilities, including
certain liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed, among other things, to bear
substantially all expenses (other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions) in
connection with the registration and sale of the securities covered by this prospectus supplement.
S-5
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
On December 31, 2008, we issued the warrant to the United States Department of the Treasury,
which is the initial selling securityholder under this prospectus supplement, in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We were required under the terms
of the Warrant Agreement between us and the Treasury to register for resale the warrant and the
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant. The initial selling securityholder,
or its successors, including transferees, may from time to time offer and sell, pursuant to this
prospectus supplement, any or all of the securities they own. The securities to be offered under
this prospectus supplement for the account of the selling securityholders are:
a warrant to purchase 122,035,597 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment),
representing beneficial ownership of approximately 19.99% of our common stock as of December 31,
2008; and
122,035,597 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant (subject to
adjustment), which shares, if issued, would represent ownership of approximately 19.99% of our
common stock as of December 31, 2008.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting
or investment power with respect to the securities. To our knowledge, the initial selling
securityholder has sole voting and investment power with respect to the securities.
We do not know when or in what amounts the selling securityholders may offer the securities
for sale. The selling securityholders might not sell any or all of the securities offered by this
prospectus supplement. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some of the securities
pursuant to this offering, and because currently no sale of any of the securities is subject to any
agreements, arrangements or understandings, we cannot estimate the number of the securities that
will be held by the selling securityholders after completion of the offering.
Information about the selling securityholders may change over time and changed information
will be set forth in additional prospectus supplements if and when necessary.
